Former US President Donald Trump made headlines once again with a fiery speech in Manhattan, where he lashed out at his legal adversaries and teased a potential return to the political arena in 2024.
Speaking to a crowd of supporters, Trump didn't hold back as he criticised the ongoing investigations against him, calling them "politically motivated witch hunts." His lawyer, Alina Habba, stood by his side as he vowed to fight what he described as "unfair targeting" by prosecutors.
Legal Troubles Mount for Trump
Trump faces multiple legal challenges in New York, including investigations into his business practices and financial dealings. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been leading one of the most high-profile probes, which Trump claims is an attempt to derail his political future.
"They can't beat me at the ballot box, so they're trying to take me down with these bogus cases," Trump declared, drawing cheers from the audience.
Political Comeback on the Horizon?
Despite his legal woes, Trump dropped strong hints about running for president again in 2024. "We did it once, and we'll do it again - bigger and better than ever before," he said, without making an official announcement.
New York Mayor Eric Adams, who has had a contentious relationship with Trump, declined to comment on the former president's speech but reiterated his focus on governing the city.
What's Next for Trump?
Legal experts suggest Trump's Manhattan cases could drag on for months, potentially overlapping with the 2024 election cycle. Meanwhile, his political team appears to be laying the groundwork for another White House bid.
As Trump left the stage to chants of "Four more years!" one thing became clear: whether in courtrooms or on campaign trails, the former president remains a dominant force in American politics.
